Today let’s have a look at the fascinating art of invocation, if we use the plan of the tree of life as our guide, we as magicians can invoke the lower gods or archangels, with the desire to mingle our own life was at the same time surrendering our being to the greater and more extensive life of the God force.

 Thus, our spiritual perceptions become more refined and increasingly more sensitive, whilst our consciousness in time becomes accustomed to the higher frequency of the God force flowing through us.

 Our interior evolution proceeding, we can invoke the God force of the Sephirah or the plane immediately above it.

 If we follow this same procedure, we can attempt to assimilate our own essence and our own integrated consciousness, to that of the divine God force we have invoked.

 And so on until we finally stand upon the high peak of spiritual realization which unites us with the transcendental life of infinity, the feeling of universal love and total compassion, we become conscious of all life and everything as our self with supreme vision and power.

 The famous Neoplatonic theurgist one stated: If the essence and perfection of everything good was understood in the God’s, and the first in ancient power of them is with us priests [this means us magicians] and if those who also followed more spiritual endeavors and genuinely obtain the union with the God force, then the beginning and the end of all good is honestly pursued.
